In this essay I will analyze the notion of narrative identity proposed by Paul Ricoeur in Oneself as another highlighting a theoretical problem. My criticism stems from a simple but surprising claim: except for some minor references, in Oneself as another the phenomenological perspective is missing. I will try to explain the reasons and the theoretical consequences of this lack. I will highlight in particular a problem: without a phenomenological foundation the notion of narrative identity becomes potentially ambiguous and the narrative self risks – paradoxically – to look like a disembodied subject.

Abstract
In this essay I will analyze the notion of narrative identity proposed by Paul Ricoeur in Oneself as another highlighting a theoretical problem. My criticism stems from a simple but surprising claim: except for some minor references, in Oneself as another the phenomenological perspective is missing. I will try to explain the reasons and the theoretical consequences of this lack. I will highlight in particular a problem: without a phenomenological foundation the notion of narrative identity becomes potentially ambiguous and the narrative self risks – paradoxically – to look like a disembodied subject.File in questo prodotto:
